About this property

The Old Smoke House - cosy coastal retreat

The Old Smoke House has been beautifully restored by the owners to a very high standard providing a wonderful haven where you can escape reality, relax and unwind. It is an idyllic romantic getaway for couples and can also accommodate small families offering the perfect location in the heart of the conservation area and only a minutes walk to the seafront and town centre. The sitting room also has a sofa bed, ideal for teenagers. The minute you step into the cottage you feel totally at home. The cottage has been very thoughtfully decorated throughout with beautiful wallpapers, painted floorboards and attractive upholstered furniture. The cottage is an ideal place to visit throughout the year. In the winter you can light the wood burner in the sitting room to make it warm and cosy, in the summer you have a wonderful rose walled courtyard garden, where you can enjoy total privacy.

Ground floor

Entrance into the sitting room

Upon entering the property you step into the entrance hall leading into the sitting room, housing a wood burner, TV, a large three seater sofa which is also a sofa bed and a comfortable winged-chair.

Dining area

A step down takes you into a light extendable dining room with seating for six and a large window overlooking the pretty garden at the rear.

Kitchen

A new, well equipped, kitchen with an electric oven and hob, dishwasher, microwave and a cream SMEG fridge which has a small icebox. Wooden worktops and baskets give it a cottage-y feel with two dressers housing all the pretty crockery.

First floor

From the sitting room there is a door which opens to a winding staircase taking you to the:

Twin bedroom

A good-sized bedroom at the front of the house with two large single beds that can also be zipped together to make another double if required. Built in cupboards house plenty of hanging space.

Bathroom

Step down from the landing into a large bathroom in the eaves at the back of the property with a lovely rolltop bath and a large drench shower over. There is also an airing cupboard housing the washing machine and boiler in this room.

Second Floor

A lovely light double bedroom in the eaves with sea views to one side and views of the street on the other. Again this bedroom has been beautifully decorated and has built in cupboard space for clothes.

Additional information

This property does have steep and winding staircases and therefore would not be recommended for those with toddlers or young children, babies are welcome and a travel cot is available but please be aware that the property does have a lot of steps.

Lovely old cottage
This is a quirky old cottage situated in a beautiful and quiet part of Deal, very close to the beach and cycling/walking opportunities. We enjoyed many walks, cycle rides and swims as a result. We enjoyed our stay and were not too fazed by the steep stairs and low ceilings as we were expecting them. In general the cottage is well equipped and comfortable - lovely bath, soft bedding and towels and a good supply of kitchen equipment. Items such as washing machine and dishwasher have been cleverly incorporated into the limited space in the cottage. The top bedroom in particular is a lovely space, with the bonus of a delightful sea view. The notable exception in terms of comfort was the sofa as the seat cushions have been replaced by large feather pillows that soon flatten out onto the frame. It really was deeply uncomfortable after about 5 minutes of initial comfort. This can be easily remedied I'm sure by replacing the sofa or seat cushions. We would stay here again if this issue was resolved. We very much appreciated the speedy response from Keeper's Cottages when we contacted them with a couple of queries early on.

characterful cottage in stunning area
Beautiful period cottage, carefully modernised and just a stone’s throw from the sea, near to great pubs, shops, cliff walks, plus the excellent rail link. We enjoyed being car free! We loved the sea view from the top bedroom, dazzling in the morning, and the patio for breakfast. Hot sunny weather and daily sea swims were icing on the cake.

Shabby chic, emphasis on shabby
So lucky with the weather in Deal….. cottage rather disappointing. There is limited head room in several areas - couldn’t stand up in the double bedroom ! The furniture and fittings are exhausted and the cottage felt grubby throughout - shame ……

Great place to stay
Absolutely love this house. We rented it for 5 weeks and enjoyed every moment. Great location, bags of character, and in generally good condition. Few niggles - it needs new crockery and the knives are blunt, but overall highly recvommended.
